00:05An all-important rubber match yesterday at Chavez Ravine in downtown Los Angeles
00:11between the Dodgers and the Phillies.
00:13L.A. booked as a minus-142.
00:15Home Moneyline favorite.
00:16A pregame total of nine for the third and final set between the Dodgers and the Phillies.
00:22Who would win game three?
00:23Who would win this series?
00:25Ever important even in the regular season.
00:28Kyle Schwerber stepped up in a large, large way.
00:32Three Schwerboms last night.
00:34That's three home runs off the bat of Kyle Schwerber
00:37matching a career-best seven RBIs in a single game.
00:42Responsible for seven of the nine runs that Philadelphia scored
00:46in a 9-4 victory to take the rubber match
00:49and this marquee midweek set in Los Angeles.
00:52Yeah, Schwerber up to .260 at the plate, which doesn't sound like much,
00:55but Kyle Schwerber's typically that guy.
00:57I'll hit you 40 home runs, but I'll hit .212 on the season.
00:59That's what's been most important.
01:01And also, stepping up in the biggest of games.
01:03Where do you need this guy?
01:04Leading off.
01:05What a jolt in the arm when you can line up with the first batter of the game
01:08and be up 1-0 it seems like every other night.
01:11Now granted, being facetious there, it doesn't happen all that much,
01:14but that's that lightning strike that really sets the tone,
01:16and you saw that yesterday.
01:18But even with setting the tone, the Phillies go 1-0.
01:20They're down 2-1 at the end of the first inning.
01:22They're down 4-1 after the second.
01:24It's like, oh, well, here we go.
01:25Another series victory for the Dodgers.
01:26The Phillies are slipping.
01:27And then you have the two runs in the fifth and the five-run sixth inning,
01:30which did get some help from a questionable call,
01:33which was on a bunt that turned into an interference play.
01:36It's caught a couple of Phillies guys safe.
01:37Two outs, three-run bomb for Kyle Schwerber.
01:39And away the Phillies went with a victory.
01:41They'll take it in any way, shape, or form.
01:43But for your leadoff batter to hit three home runs and have seven RBI on the night,
01:47that's pretty impressive.
01:49The Phillies look like they're back in form on offense.
01:51And as we talked about, it was really a coin flip heading into that game.
01:54And most were saying, just take the Philadelphia Phillies on that end of it.
01:57And it looked like if you were a Dodgers backer early, you were going to win this one.
02:00Because Phillips, five innings pitch, four earned runs.
02:03Then you flipped it over to the Dodgers side.
02:05Stone was four and two-thirds innings, six hits and three earned runs.
02:08We thought the game would go over, and it did.
02:10Thank you, Kyle Schwerber.
